NurseTAB

Umn bad idea for the pain med only when you can't take it any longer, you need to be comfortable while recovering. Waiting until your in pain to take the meds umn no no. I'm a registered nurse and people wait to long to take meds then can't control there pain and come in to ER, trust me I know I work in a ER.

It's that way for awhile the decreaed calorie intake, major surgery. I didn't feel like myself for a good 2 months if not longer. Just take it easy until ya feel like yourself, body's way of telling ya to relax.

I LOVE THIS STUFF., I have never found a protein mix I couldn't taste and now I have, this stuff rocks I added it to my yogurt,drinks and you can't taste a thing I am in love!

I am almost 6 months out and can enjoy food again, I know how you guys feel though I felt the same way. Eating for the first few months seems like a chore and just isn't what it used to be which is a good thing. It will get better I promise just focus on healing and making good choices. You soon find what ya can and cant tolerate, which is different for everyone.

My doc said no ab exercises like crunches or strengthening exercise on abs for 3 months due to hernias after surgery from incision sites .

I can never find things I like in thrift stores

I am a nurse and didn't buy new scuba till I lost 70 pounds and I just been picking up new clothes here and there when I have money makes it more affordable then buying all at one plus you can get smaller sizes so you always have something that fits

I get hiccups sometimes but not all the time I have that full feeling once I've eaten to much

I went with the band first and lost maybe 10 pounds I knew I should of went with bypass after my second seminar with my current bypass doctor, the band I think isn't worth the time by personal experience.

Here is a not so good update pic down to 195 from 270 my boobs have deflated lol

Oh and silly me good luck tomorrow it's defentily a life changing event!

Sounds just about right to me. Maybe some extra undies is something else just in case.

Yea not as much though and I'm pretty happy after the first bite and don't need to eat the rest but have ugh

I am getting back on track your right but when you start to fall off the wagon ya get scared you messed everything up and won't get back on the wagon

Eating everything I can and things I shouldn't be eating ice cream chips you name it, but thankfully I am back on track. I just hope I didn't mess anything up by bad choices I have gained weight I was at 193 and am 201 now ugh

Me too!

I am 5 months out and down 70 pounds gained a few back over the past month but by bad decisions still have another 50 to go. I am back on track though

I live in Jackson MI and had mine done in Ann Arbor at Forest Medical Center, it's only for gastric bypass patients they do plastic surgery too after you have lost all your weight

Sorry didn't think the first one went through

Have you noticed slower weight loss?

I'm 5 months out and have stopped losing even gaining have you noticed slower weight loss being almost 6 months out?

I was the same way at first no nausea then after 3 month started having it and got meds from my doc and it really helped , then started having nausea and and pain whenever I ate and doc said I prob have an ulcer so took meds for that and man did it help, talk with your doc that's what they get paid for

I purred Wendy's chilli when I was still on purred And did fine with it other then it doesn't taste as good all purred together but it's a change from the protein drinks and yogurt and cheese.

Yeah just a stall we all have them just have to be patient with it and it will soon pass.

I'm down 75 pounds and getting saggy skin I'm 27 and have always had problems with my skin not being elastic have the stretch marks to prove it. I figured I would rather have saggy skin then having the fat that filled it. When I'm older and after having all my kids will think about plastic surgery.
